Review:

This story is utterly delightful. Despite the fact I do tend to go towards the fantasy genre;  it seems recently I have found myself more romance/contemporary than I ever thought I would.

I've been luckily enough to have been sent Making Arrangements and Melody's Key- both of which are not something I'm typically drawn towards. But, I'm glad I gave these books a chance.

First off, I love the book cover. The cover is created to look like a painting, which I feel is reflective of the protagonist of the story.

The protagonist (Lang) develops as a person throughout the story. After going through cancer and the loss of her husband she finally gains confidence and eventually learns to stand up for herself towards the end of the novel

Her son, Teddy, was a character that I loved to hate. He was very much controlling and manipulative; trying to control his own Mother into decisions he felt was best without really asking what she is feeling and what her opinions were. He uses situations to his advantage to achieve what he wants and despite him being controlling; he was an excellent character with a strong persona.

All the characters, in fact, were extremely well written and developed. I fell in love with all of them. And who can forget the lovable dog companion. There is strong relationship between all the various character- new relationships aren't rushed and are slowly built strong.

I found myself tearful at various moments and didn't want to stop reading.

I do recommenced this book and I'm sure many contemporary lovers will enjoy this book.
